gumonshoe Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Note: All shisha was left to acclimate for 4 hours prior to smoking.-----Romman Double Apple:-----Setup: Single hose Abyss mod hookah, ice and water in base, 1 golden quick lite at a time.Cut: The cut was all over the place. Did not seem to have a consistent size. some stems were noticeable.Smell: Somewhat like apple, definitely appealing.Smoke: Smoke was medium-thick. EnjoyableTaste: Flavour wasn't exactly what i would call Apple. Or for that matter double apple. Tasted like apple with a little bit of anise.Duration: 1 1/2 hours, with 2 Golden quick lites. The coal required a bit more tending than usual, as the smoke got a little harsh at one point. This i will attribute to human error. Overall i would say the taste was consistent however it was not what i would call apple.Rating: 6.5/10-----Romman Melon:-----Setup: Same as above.Cut: same.Smell: Smell was very nice, couldn't wait to smoke it.Smoke: Smoke was medium-thick. EnjoyableTaste: Unfortunately i would call this shisa the cock-tease of all flavours. The smell of the shisha is awesome, but there really isn't any taste at all.Duration: 1 1/2 hours, with 2 Golden quick lites. Definitely a disappointment. Oh melon, you could have been soo much more.Rating: 4/10-----Romman Rose:-----Setup: Same.Cut: same.Smell: I don't know what else to say other than the smell made me sick to my stomache.Smoke: Smoke was medium-thick. EnjoyableTaste: Surprisingly, i found this to be the most flaovourful of all the tobacco. Dispite its awful aroma, it really has a pleasant taste. I've always thought of rose as a mixing flavour, but i was pleasantly surprised.Duration: 1 1/2 hours, with 2 Golden quick lites. Overall the flavour was pleasing. Please do not leave this open to acclimate in your house. The place will smell like crap.Rating: 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumonshoe Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 I thought i should be honest so that no one else falls victim to bad shisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasa Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 did you buy 250g tubs? or 50 g samples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumonshoe Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 50g samples. I don't see why there would be a difference. The samples were all air tight seals just the same way a tub would be. They were also moist and the same consistency that i am sure a tub would be.

xpimpitox Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 yea i am not a fan of romman tobaccy as well. i smoked it at a lounge near me with no flair. i thought id give it another shot and ordered a 50g sample from HS.com along with other goodies and it tasted like crap...did nothin more than give me a headache.

Evil_Spork Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 odd i just tried roman sweet melon and it was full of flavor. it smoked very well, and tasted exactly like a green melon. we smoked it from my home made hookah, and my friends QT clone. both got great smoke, and great flavor, but zero buzz. my home brew hookah hits like a FREIGHT train with al-waha, but the romman gave me *nothing*, which was a little dissapointing.you should give that melon another shot. we didnt acclimate at all, just opened the pack and smoked it right away. we used a double japanese silver tablet. (fumari brand)as a note: i personally dont like the taste of green melons much, so i didnt enjoy the flavor, but i could tell that if you like the melon flavor, it would be great! just a personal preferance thing, im a picky eater.

Sonthert Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 People, people...humidity does make a difference...it can make a flavor very thin and almost non-existant during humidity shock. I return you to your regular rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
